It’s been almost fifty days of my current writing experiment, my goal of posting at least five hundred daily words on my blog, and although I constantly think of quitting, either from a place of laziness or just feeling overwhelmed, I’m glad I’ve persevered through it so far. I find that, at times, I can tell that my writing is getting better, and that makes me really glad, since I knew it had to be an inevitable outcome of a daily writing practice. I know I still have a lot of room for improvement, but it’s nice to see some improvement in oneself, even when it’s very subtle. I realize I’ve pretty much just been writing about a bunch of disorganized topics up to this point, and it might seem hard to find just where exactly I’m coming from, like, what’s my angle and why am I writing all this random stuff? Well, to be honest, that’s been a deliberate decision of mine, because I think it really reflects a part of my personality. You might know what I’m talking about if you’ve read some of my previous posts, about my fascination with the random and weird, or the slightly chaotic, but even if you haven’t read those posts you might be getting an idea of what I’m talking about, the feeling I’m trying to get across. Life is just so random, and I know there’s so much to be learned during our time here, from both the good and the bad, the happy and the sad moments. Just like life itself, our minds and hearts are random. We don’t know where our next thought is coming from, and we often don’t know just why we feel what we feel. Life is mysterious in every aspect, and since I can’t begin to grasp it, to make sense of it all, I feel like the best way to capture what’s important is to document it, the most comfortable way for me being to put it into words, to put as much into words as possible. How many thoughts go through a person’s mind every day? I’m sure a lot of them are stupid or unimportant, but I bet a lot of our thoughts could lead us to some very interesting places if we paid more attention to them. Obviously, I can’t spend every waking moment writing down my every thought, I can’t forget to live life and just dedicate all my time to thinking. Maybe if I write at least five hundred words a day though, which is about a three- or four-minute read, then at least my most important ideas, or the ones I’m contemplating the most at the time of writing, will see the light of day. Maybe some of those hidden gems within my mind will escape from their prison and will go on to become something real in the physical world, if only some scribbled notes on a piece of paper. Everything starts somewhere. Even if I, myself, do nothing with my ideas once I write them down, I am sure there are many people who would be inspired by them, maybe even subconsciously, once they read them. We are always being influenced by everything around us, everything we see, everything we hear and experience. I hope you get something good out of reading this today, and that it may inspire your thoughts and your life in a positive way, and I hope you can do the same for others.
